Thread: CA-Immigrant rights group files complaint against Santa Clar

Immigrant rights group files complaint against Santa Clarita councilman over 'proud racist' remark

Los Angeles-based immigrant rights advocates announced Tuesday that they have filed formal complaints against a Santa Clarita councilman they say deserves to be censured for violating the city’s code of ethics and conduct by declaring himself “a proud racist.â€

[quote]The group also alleges that Kellar violated at least eight provisions of Santa Clarita’s ethics and conduct policy, which requires that municipal leaders be “independent, impartial and accountable to the people they serve.â€

This whole "immigrant rights" thing has gotten way out of control. I wonder how thoroughly our educational system is indoctrinating young people to believe this. Just like getting us to believe MLK was a great man (Read Ralph Abernathy's book.)

Just another example of how empowered the open border groups are in this state. This has gotten blown way out of proportion.

Illegal Immigration Debate Will Continue With Santa Clarita City Council

Written by Jon Dell

City staff will research topic and present findings at study session.



If you haven't heard the words "illegal immigration" or "Bob Kellar" in the last two weeks, you haven't been in Santa Clarita.



Our City Councilman first made waves while speaking at an anti illegal immigration rally last month in which he recalled reciting a quote from Teddy Roosevelt several years ago that described uniting under one flag. Kellar said he then had someone accuse him of sounding like a racist. His reply was: "That's good. If that's what you think I am because I happen to believe in America, I'm a proud racist, you're darn right I am," (full story).



His comments quickly spread across Santa Clarita and Los Angeles media outlets and the next City Council meeting was met by television crews, Kellar opponents, and Kellar supporters. The Council agreed that Kellar had perhaps chosen his words poorly; however they stated that they knew he was not, in fact, a racist (full story). They did not take any action against him, and Kellar refused to abandon the point of his comments; that illegal immigration is causing severe strain on our state and local governments and it should be stopped.



Since then, immigrant rights organizations have put Kellar in their sights, and anti illegal immigration activists have touted him as a hero.



Somewhere along the line, however, a great deal of conversation about illegal immigration has taken center stage in our town. Residents and out of the area commentators have used the public participation time at two consecutive Council meetings to address the issue, and people on both sides have squared off in demonstrations outside of City Hall.



After Tuesday's City Council meeting, Kellar requested that the issue of illegal immigration be discussed openly in Council chambers as an item on the agenda. He claimed that of all of the attention he's received over the last few weeks, an overwhelming majority has been in support of taking action to stop the flow of illegal immigrants.



The rest of the City Council expressed a desire to host the issue during a City Council study session, rather than a Council meeting. They directed City staff to research the issue, including jurisdiction rules and options for enforcement of existing laws at a local level.



After City staff coordinates that information, the City plans to schedule the study session at City Hall. The public will be invited to discuss the matter, and public speakers will be allotted the standard three minutes to share their thoughts and concerns.


When the date is scheduled, KHTS AM-1220 will post that information in a story.

DITTO! These pro-invader groups have gotten way out of hand!

The Full Rights for Immigrants Coalition

It would be really simple to kick this out, by US law "Immigrants" are lawful permanent resident aliens, since the issue has nothing to do with immigrants the complaint is meaningless.
